CD Projekt has set The Witcher 3 Remastered release date for September 29 at 12pm in Poland, and the rollout is built around one CET launch for every region. For players, that means the remaster arrives on a single global clock instead of a patchwork of local unlocks.
Wesley on the Poland launch
"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered comes out on September 29 at 12pm in Poland, where CD Projekt is based." Wesley said that line as the timing detail landed, and it gives the launch its clearest anchor: one base release in Poland, then synchronized access elsewhere. The farther west a player is, the earlier the game goes live.
The same schedule also stretches across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Nintendo Switch 2. That matters because the remaster is being handled as a free upgrade for people who already own the base game on GOG, Steam, Epic, Xbox, and PlayStation, while PC buyers will also see it sold separately on Battle.net for the first time.
Marcin Momot’s platform sizes
Marcin Momot, CD Projekt’s Global Community and Social Media Director, used social media to reveal the update sizes across each platform. That practical detail sits alongside another useful limit: there is no preload on GOG, Steam, Epic, Xbox, and PlayStation, so the download window opens with the release rather than ahead of it.
Switch 2 and Battle.net are the only places where pre-purchase is in place, which splits the launch into two business models: upgrade access for existing owners and separate sales on a new PC storefront. For players, the immediate question is not just when the game unlocks, but which storefront will handle the install and whether their copy is the upgrade path or the standalone one.
September 29 and Songs of the Past
The release lands before Songs of the Past, The Witcher 3's third expansion, due in 2027. That gives the remaster a long runway on its own before the next expansion arrives, and it keeps attention on the current launch instead of pushing players straight into the next content beat.
The wrinkle is the reception split already forming around the visuals: the new version is said to show much greater detail on Geralt's armor and more defined water, but some fans say the reflections make the remaster look worse. For anyone planning to jump in on September 29, the useful move is simple — check the storefront tied to your platform, then line up the install around the Poland launch rather than waiting for a separate regional schedule.
